Need More Recycling Containers?

Getting Extra Containers

As a part of basic garbage service, each residence is issued a brown, wheeled cart for the following recyclables:

Mixed paper

Corrugated cardboard

Plastic, glass, and metal

If you have more recycling than will fit in your container, you can get extra containers at no charge, from Recology South Valley at 408-842-3358 or click here. You may have as many containers as you reasonably need to handle your recycling.
